So I've been searching and searching and trying out different methods to get my 9600 GT to work properly in Snow Leopard. And the last attempt returned in a black screen after boot.
I've tried different kext's, modified the boot.plist and so on. And it's just driving me nuts.
We can always to a little background check so you know what I'm running and how I installed my system, if that might help.
I've used Lifehackers guide ↗ to install my system. Found it to be the easiest because I have a little MacBook.
And my hardware-specs are:
* Asus P5Q-E
* Core 2 Quad Q8200 2,33GHz
and of course
* 9600GT 512MB
Everything works fine except that the system doesn't really like the graphic card and says it only got 32MB of memory and so on.
And as I stated earlier i've tried different howto's of how to try and fix the problem and noone worked.
So. Anyone got any good ideas how to get i to work?
